    <p>I'm trying to use the MLStripper class that I found recommended on several postings to strip out the html from an email in order to get plain text. The strip_tags function runs into an issue when trying to parse due to the "@" sign. I guess this class is not powerful enough to only parse valid html tags, any recommendations on how to fix the below to handle the "@" or another library to remove html from text? I need to also remove things like &amp; as well. </p> <p><strong>Python:</strong></p> <pre><code>from HTMLParser import HTMLParser class MLStripper(HTMLParser): def __init__(self): self.reset() self.fed = [] def handle_data(self, d): self.fed.append(d) def get_data(self): return ''.join(self.fed) def strip_tags(self, html): s = MLStripper() s.feed(html) return s.get_data() ML = MLStripper() test = ML.strip_tags("&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;On Sep 27, 2012, at 4:11 PM, Mark Smith &lt;marksmith@gmail.com&gt; wrote&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;") print test </code></pre> <p><strong>Error:</strong></p> <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last): File "IMAPReader.py", line 49, in &lt;module&gt; strippedText = ML.strip_tags("&lt;marksmith@gmail.com&gt;") File "IMAPReader.py", line 22, in strip_tags s.feed(html) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/HTMLParser.py", line 108, in feed self.goahead(0) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/HTMLParser.py", line 148, in goahead k = self.parse_starttag(i) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/HTMLParser.py", line 229, in parse_starttag endpos = self.check_for_whole_start_tag(i) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/HTMLParser.py", line 304, in check_for_whole_start_tag self.error("malformed start tag") File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/HTMLParser.py", line 115, in error raise HTMLParseError(message, self.getpos()) HTMLParser.HTMLParseError: malformed start tag, at line 1, column 9 </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
